This portrait of Joseph Conrad is one in a series influenced by the instantly recognisable cover layout created by Penguin Books in the 1930's. It is a tribute to this iconic design and the role the standardised format had in helping bring great literature, both classic and contemporary, to the masses with their affordable paperback editions.
